LMS Weekly Update: Brightspace assistance and training

Posted on Thursday, December 13th, 2018

Your LMS team is available to assist faculty with getting their grades ready for submission or to help them prepare for their Winter 2019 courses.

Anyone scheduled in Genesis to teach a Winter course will find it listed in “My Courses” in Brightspace under the 2019W tab. Faculty can use a course readiness checklist available here to ensure their course is ready for the new term. The checklist links to handy tip sheets about preparing content.

Training opportunities for Brightspace are readily available for faculty. These include one-hour focused sessions on grading learners, using quizzes, setting up grades, using TurnItIn, and using rubrics.

The three-hour Brightspace Essentials workshop is for returning faculty who have not yet completed any Brightspace training. New faculty are invited to complete training via the Part-Time Faculty Orientation program. Registration is through the PD registration system here.

Faculty can also book appointments for one-on-one support here or drop in to C123 Mondays to Thursdays from 8 a.m. – 8 p.m. and Fridays from 8 a.m. – 5 p.m.
